The mass of March magazines with glossy girl icons parading around is making my heart double-flutter and my eyes pop.

This is cover design at it's best. Scrap that, this is cover porn.

Gwen Stefani looking, as Adrian G over at Fashion Verbatim pointed out, uncannily like Ms Lara Stone is decked out in one of the cute SS08 Miu Miu dresses and was shot by Mert and Alas (who else?..) She looks like the 2008 version of her Love/Angel/Music/Baby Alice in Wonderland look.

Lindsay Lohan graces Paper Magazine looking fabulously Hollywood. Shot by her BFF Jeremy Scott and styled by Marcell Rocha (who also styles for i-D when it takes his fancy.) Her blonde hair looks great here, shame she didn't put the effort to get somebody to style it like this everyday. She may be shamelessly whoring her comeback, with a string of magazine covers, but it's working because she finally has a film on the agenda. Put those Razzie awards behind you, and get a stylist to keep up with the hype, pronto!

And while you're at Borders picking these up, be sure to get your mitts on March's i-D with eye candy in the form of Raquel Zimmerman looking not at all US Vogue and very Louis Vuitton. It's got the best editorials in it this month, I kid you not.

Gwen's pictures for V look a bit usual for her latest style. And if you check around, you'll see various covers (I found two and posted them on my blog. the one here is the gwen stylee.. the other looked like madonna stylee).

As far as Lindsay goes, "I am what I am" should have received certain punctuation and I would have agree with her being the 'right' way - "I am. What I am?"

hehe funny that you mention charlotte gainsbourgh on your comment on my blog- b/c i already listen to her! but i didn't know jarvis wrote part of her album! cool! i love pulp too- common people, mishapes, and underwear are great songs

SO have to get this.And you said about going to borders: isnt it great? Right at the back of the one in my town is a whole row of independant fashion magazines, all of which are TONS better than the regular glossies.Thanks for posting this :) x

I love the Gwen cover- she looks fierce, and I actually thought that was Lara till I came to the text. And Lohan is trashtastic, the hooker hair and makeup actually kind of work on that cover (even if she still looks like a trainwreck).

Ever read something on this blog that touched you, made you guffaw, or that you passed onto a friend because you thought they might like it? If so, would you like to buy me a coffee to enjoy whilst writing?
